Koji, on that hot spring vacation when he was in junior high school, was so happy that he will never forget it. From that time on, he found that Xia Xue was more like a little girl, especially the panic and helplessness on her face, which made Xiaozhi have to take pity on him.
After that hot spring vacation, Xia Xue realized that Koji had really grown up. Both his mind and himself were growing like crazy. Even, Xiaoji's strong interest in Xia Xue's privacy since he was a child has developed into serious machismo.
Every time Xia Xue goes out to eat, Xiaozhi will inevitably ask, who is she with? With the same phone number, calling Xia Xue frequently, Koji would frown unhappily. If someone of the opposite sex asks Xia Xue to drink coffee on the weekend, then Xiaozhi will not hesitate to ask for accompaniment.
Xia Xue had nothing to do with Xiaozhi, so she had to go with him. thought to himself, as long as he has a good girl in the future, he will not put all his mind on himself.
As a result, Xia Xue was wrong. Later, when Xiaozhi was in college, he had a public relationship with several girls, but in the end they all failed. On the contrary, it is the stickiness of Xia Xue, but it is getting worse day by day, and it is more than that.
That stud man, to Xiaoji, is like a fly he encountered when he was a student. However, the good thing is that he will not be seen in front of him again in the future. He's in a hot spring resort, and if something like that makes a mess happen, he shouldn't come to school again, right?
Xiaozhi was still rejoicing like this until the first day of October, the morning of school. He came to school very early that morning, and he didn't see that annoying guy when he was studying on his own in the morning.
However, on the morning of the second Monday, as soon as Xiaoji walked into the classroom door, he saw the nondescript figure of the studd man. He was strangely wearing a bright red embroidered shirt inside his blue school uniform shirt. The shirt was slim and embroidered with black thread and gold-trimmed flowers on both sides of the collar and placket.
Xiao Zhi walked to his seat without paying attention, took out his book, and prepared for class. After a while, someone lay on Xiaozhi's desk and whispered to Xiaozhi: "If you don't mention it, I will keep it secret for you about my vacation in the hot spring!" โ
When Xiao Zhi heard the sound, he knew that it was the fly, the guy who made him disgusting. Xiao Zhi didn't raise his eyelids, but said fiercely: "Get out!" โ
The man sneered and got up to leave.
After school the next afternoon, the classmates in the class who were good friends with Xiaozhi quietly told Xiaozhi: "That guy with earrings said that you followed a beautiful woman to the hot spring on October 1st." He also said that you were in the same room with the woman and were swimming together in a swimsuit. He said he saw with his own eyes that you carried the woman ashore from the water. โ
After listening to the words relayed by his classmates, Xiaoji was laughed at by this annoying and pitiful guy. Xiaozhi said to the classmate: "That bad guy, if I talk to you about a similar topic next time, you can simply ask him, how did you see me?" What did he do there? โ
Xiaozhi disdains to tell right and wrong, and he doesn't like to talk nonsense about others behind his back. Regarding the matter of the stud man, he did not mention it to anyone after the start of school. On the contrary, he occasionally sympathizes with the stud man.
On this Friday afternoon, the stud man did not come to class and did not ask the head teacher for leave. After asking the classmates in the class, the head teacher called the parents of the stud man, but even his parents did not know where he was.
At the end of school in the afternoon, Xiaoji made an appointment with that good classmate to go to the audio-visual bookstore together.
Not far from the school gate, there is a street park that is sparsely populated. Patches of woods, a small fountain in the center, a couple of wooden benches, and that's it.
From the center of this park, across the past, is the audio-visual bookstore that Koji is going to. The male classmate who was traveling with Xiaozhi suddenly said that he wanted to go to the bathroom.
Koji had no choice but to accompany him to the most secluded corner of the jungle, where the bathroom was the closest to them. Koji waited outside, walking back and forth, looking at the trees around him.
Suddenly, Xiaozhi inadvertently glanced at it and saw that on the grass behind the bathroom, there seemed to be a travel shoe scattered and messy clothes and pants. Two steps further, I was surprised to find that the grass was stained with red blood.
The classmate who came out of the bathroom, not knowing what Koji was looking at, came over curiously.
"There's blood on the grass!" The classmate exclaimed, hiding behind Koji.
Xiaozhi continued to take a few steps forward, and in a low jungle inside, there seemed to be a person lying down, revealing two feet stained with mud, and he didn't move.
The timid classmate, covering his mouth with one hand, tightly pulled Xiaozhi's clothes with the other, and said tremblingly: "It seems that someone is dead!" โ
Xiaoji didn't say a word, and strode towards the jungle.
Sure enough, there was a boy lying there. The blouse, torn and hung on his chest. In the lower half, there is nothing. Presumably, the pants scattered on the grass should belong to this person.
Xiaozhi immediately took out the phone, called the police, and told the exact location. Then, the emergency number was called.
The classmate behind him suddenly shouted: "It's that nasty guy!" , is he, still alive? โ
Koji leaned close to the man lying there and looked at the man's face carefully. Although his face was red and swollen, and his lips were turned outward severely, he could still be recognized at a glance as the man with the studs.
Koji crouched down and gently placed his fingers under his nose, and there was still breath, but it was relatively faint. Xiao Zhi took out the mineral water from the side pavilion of the school bag, put it close to his mouth, and slowly poured the water into his mouth.
Most of the water ran down his lips. Koji gently patted his cheek and called his name anxiously. He shouted several times, but he didn't respond. After a few minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ji with an expressionless face.
The police arrived quickly. Subsequently, an ambulance also arrived in time. While the paramedics were treating the wounds, the police asked Xiaozhi some simple questions.
''Excuse me, do you know the wounded?'' โ
''Well, recognized. He was a classmate of ours. โ
The police asked about the school and class they were in, and then wrote them down in a notebook.
"Have you ever heard of someone the injured had a grudge against?"
Xiao Zhi and the classmate shook their heads one after another.
"Do you know that the injured man is outside of school, and he has a close relationship with some people?"
"Well, this ใใใใใใ" Xiao Zhi just spoke, but he looked at the classmates around him hesitantly, and stopped talking.
The policeman looked at Koji suspiciously, and then at the classmate next to him.
"Please cooperate with our investigation, this is also to help the injured. You don't have to worry about that. โ
Xiao Zhi then continued: "The injured ใใใใใใ a while ago, he was very close to a middle-aged man. On the first of October, I went to a hot spring resort and saw them there. In the middle of the night, the middle-aged man suffered a heart attack and was admitted to the hospital. โ
The classmate looked at Xiaozhi in surprise: "It turns out that he is also there, and he is still with that middle-aged man." Then why didn't you tell us? Let him slander you, but you will say nothing! โ
Koji glanced at his classmate with a smile and patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't care about the slander of the injured person.
At this time, the policeman showed a look of sudden realization and said, "Ah, that's it! It turned out that the injured person was the party to the incident? We've heard about that incident as well. However, the middle-aged man is said to have gone abroad with his children. In addition to the middle-aged man, did the injured person often interact closely with other adults? โ
Xiao Zhi spread his hands and shook his head.
After the police car and ambulance left, the timid classmate patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder and said, "I really admire you, it's so natural to talk to the police." I was so nervous that I couldn't speak. โ
Koji smiled disappreciatively and said, "Let's go, didn't we say we're going to the video store?" โ
The classmate nodded blankly and looked at Koji with adoration on his face. He praised Xiaozhi, not only has a good character, but also has the demeanor of a general, and he is calm and light when he encounters anything.
Xiao Zhiwan smiled and said to his classmates seriously: We have to keep this matter secret and don't tell other classmates, okay? โ
"Why?"
"Because, if we tell our classmates about today's events, it won't take half a day to spread all over the campus. When the time comes, there will definitely be a lot of gossip, which will put pressure on that guy. โ
"Okay, Koji. I really admire your qualities, what is it called? It should be to repay grievances with virtue! โ
Later, no one heard what the outcome of this incident was.
Since that incident, the stud man has completely disappeared. Like a drop of dew, it evaporated silently between heaven and earth in an instant, and never appeared in front of Xiaoji's eyes again.
Many years have passed, and Koji has never seen Miss Haruko again. The girl who was next to the ruins and held hands with Xiaozhi.
Xiaoji, who has grown up and turned into a president, is sitting in a corner of the 1986 bar at the moment. Looking at the sweet girl sitting in front of him, he didn't want to believe that she was the Haruko back then.
Is it creation that makes people? Many years later, Koji and Haruko were arranged by their families to go on a blind date without knowing anything about each other.
Haruko, who was originally timid and cowardly, is now so hot and outgoing, it's no wonder that Koji can't recognize her. Haruko's change is simply earth-shaking, like a different person.
"Do you remember that classmate with studs? Is it the guy who is doing that kind of shy game with a middle-aged man in a hot spring resort, but he doesn't want to, and almost kills someone? Haruko said with her eyebrows fluttering, looking at Koji leisurely.
Xiao Zhi couldn't help but marvel and said, "How do you know about this? At that time, the media did not report it in order to take care of him as a student. โ
"I saw it on the spot."
"What? You were also at the resort at the time? But why haven't I met you once? โ
Haruko smiled mysteriously, cocked her orchid fingers, picked up her wine glass, and took a big sip. There were sticky droplets of wine that fell down the corners of her mouth.
"That time, in the street park not far from your school, that guy almost died. I know that, too. Don't ask me, why is that? Anyway, where there is you, there will be me. Becauseใใใใใใ I'm going to be your shadow. โ
After Haruko finished speaking, she put down the goblet that was tightly pinched by her fair-skinned and delicate fingers. flashing his uncertain eyes, he looked at Xiaozhi with resentment.
